Motorcycle injuries and deaths are going up on average because more people are riding them. Probably due to gas prices. When people say motorcycles are dangerous, I can't help but blame all the idiots I see in YouTube videos popping wheelies and standing on the seat at 100 mph. Give me a break.If this was a time trial, he was on a track. Still, 239 mph is up there for any bike. However, the record is 350 mph at the moment according to this.
